I was banded in SA at the Nix on March 9th but live in Killeen. No one here knows that I had the surgery. Where did you get banded?

I live in San Antonio and am getting bannded a the end of the month! At the nix also! People can be mean, and there are people in my family that dont agree with what I'm doing, they think it's the "easy" way out. You can email me if you want, I can't really help you with the band part yet, but I can be an understanding person that know what you are going through (or will soon). My email is laceyismynameo@gmail.com

I'm in Hutto (NE of Austin). I work in Austin and travel to other locations as well. I'm getting banded on 7/10 at south Austin medical center. St David's. I could totally use a mentor/buddies. At least to chat. I'm starting to get nervous! Really nervous! Wondering if I'm doing the right thing!!! I've wanted this for 4 years but never wanted to finance....now I have awesome insurance that covers it %100. I've been jumping all the hoops my insurance required of me since 12/11. Now it's only a few days away and I'm excited but totally freaking out! For so many reasons. I'm saying goodbye to all my guilty pleasures......donuts, Pasta, breadsticks, etc etc etc all the stuff that got me fat!!!

Anyway, would love to chat it up with some of y'all! I can be emailed at

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
